The main object in pruning is to take out branches which interfere with other branches, and to remove those which are dead, or which mar the symmetry of the tree. So far a9 can be done, in pruning the wound should be nearly perpendicular as possible, so that moisture can not remain, as it will induce decay. Also it should be quite close to the body of the tree. Children Gain Weight In Autumn. Some curious experiments have been made at one of the royal philanthropic inststutions in Copenhagen. For some years back the seventy boys and girls in the place have been carefully weighed every day in groups of fifteen and under. There it is proved that the children gain weigh mostly in Autumn and in the earlv nart of December. From that time to tbe end of April there is scarcely any increase in weight. More remarkable still, there is a diminution till tbe end of Summer.?Chicago Tribune. FOR SALE!
